SHGetFileInfo is going to disk for .exe, .lnk and .ico files when SHGFI_USEFILEATTRIBUTES is used.

parent: should search for folders in worker thread so it doesnt block the ui thread (cant cancel old search.)

reload file list button in Tools -> Options -> File lists so we dont have to monitor changes and can reload filelists manually without having to do a force rebuild.

when in preview for mp4 / pdf we no longer recieve keydown messages.

namepartdupe:ext:mp4;avi -find MyMovie.avi and MyMovie.mp4 -What I would love to do is: ext:mp4;avi namepartdupe: where namepartdupe: would find duplicate name parts from the results. -this might have limitations where namepartdupe: would have to be the last search term

search button when search as you type is disabled.

dm:-dc:>100minutes etc.. arithmetic on search functions

Levenshtein distance ld: function set threshold in ini.

normalization table option? word table[65536]?

I need to add an update now button when NTFS monitoring is disabled

ICustomDestinationList for pinned taskbar app? could list search history and run history.? -doesnt work at all on windows 10, seems fine on windows 7. could only add "tasks" couldnt add custom categorys

details pane, like in explorer, so for thumbnail view we can see size, date modified, path etc each on its own line.

built in text viewer for windows xp. -future release maybe?

export options. have two columns like in BM. << add >> remove.. could have size in bytes, formatted size in KB etc..

add all opened files/folders to the "jump list".

path suggestions when typing out a absolute path, ie d:\games\... etc

usn event use some sort of cache for the last item -avoid doing this since we need to update the new date modified.

add outline color customization

add border color control for thumbnails to ui options.

ftp command monitor, send the command, server waits for an update, replies when it gets one, send any other command from the client cancels the monitor.

add a new translation string for the copyright string, but this time use a variable for the year.

scroll bar on suggestion list

make everything filter deletable, if there are no filters, just use the predefined empty everything filter. also make import add duplicated everything filters. -this does simplify things and removes the complex "smart" everything filter

I will look into adding support for allow the search edit text to be included in the filter, rather than ANDed with it.

show bookmark keyboard shortcut duplicates in add new shortcut key.

allow path column as drop targets, drop a file into the specified path. -this could be very dangerous.

etp highlighting with * escapes like in IPC? -not possible since our search returns the entire list. -we would have to do a SEARCH_HIGHLIGHTED command that returns the entire list as highlighted

use folders to group bookmarks -temporary ini option to use "menu_folders"

try to exclude files before we add them to the index. -we could be excluding files at this stage!

check if aero mode is doing something crazy when we bitblt multiple times, is it syncing each blit?!?, maybe we should have an option to use a huge back buffer and do a single blit? -rewrite renderer so we allocate/draw then entire backbuffer at once.

when a user types in a absolute path that is not indexed, add it to the temp index?, ie user types \\tv\ which is not indexed, so we grab just the folders in \\tv\, that way we could quickly paste something in \\tv\uploads without it being in the index..

multiline text for thumbnails

fonts and colors dialog needs to be larger for italian. -i'm thinking of using double lines for the default radio button, and another line for the custom and selection. This should be easy to implement now, since the options page resizes for the indexes tab.

I will look at allowing resizing and query in a future release... -need to check is_busy and wait til new_results to do the ui_size / ui_paint, this still doesnt help when scrolling or pressing keys... might need a better approach, will leave as is for now.

portable file list editor

everything cgi for existing web servers.

ctrl + space to auto suggest paths, so we have type d:\mu , ctrl + space would change that to d:\music\, or if multiple options are available, show a list of possible paths. (search must start with a root path), we should do this with the auto indexing of unindexed folders, ie typing in \\tv\ will start indexing \\tv

locations bar, and should we use check boxes?

remove ui_listview_select_all, just use ui_select_all

search Everything from the search box in Windows Explorer? -is this even possible.. need to research this.

server ideas: host runs own journal for the everything db.

Store the index root of a file list in a file list comment? and add support for reindex a filelist. -cant use comments in csv files in excel, we could built a list of all the rootmost folders and update from there..

Remembering the free space is interesting, I'll look into adding that information as a efu file list comment and maybe displaying it in the status bar when a efu file list result is selected.

force close usn journal entry after detecting attribute change? -need to check if there is any recourse in doing this.

review offline color -hard to maintain what is offline.

if language is RTL have a RTL help section under help.

own delete / rename dialog.

optimize selection masking so we only check for new selections in the expanded region.

Setup an Everything policy to prevent users from changing certain settings in the options window. -need to be able to prevent users from changing which files are indexed in a corperate environment. -check what I did in 1.4 with allow_index_change I need to add this to 1.5

installer and Everything.exe from command line allow -add-folder-index \\server\share etc.

statistics page - show ini load times / startup times.

Ctrl + K should focus the search bar and clear it, like all browsers Ctrl + K focuses the address bar (search bar for firefox) and clears it. -rather than clear, select all like firefox.

*ScriptStringOut is useless as we can't control highlighting color -check and see if we can implement similar functionality.

cancel query should have OK and CANCEL buttons

Shortcut key to paste in results parent folder.

If the user never closes the Everything search window, search history will never be saved to disk, on power failure search history is lost. we should save immediately after adding history with a delay, so the first change is saved to disk instantly, the next one will be delayed.. say 5 minutes.

make the edit filter dialog resizable, so user can resize to see all the extensions. save the position and dimensions. apply to other dialog windows too

remove dialogs from command line options that exit immediately, so we don't break silent installs. use return error codes. review help dialog, maybe print to the console window?

make sure all RLE have a PDF and also end with a RLM, for example <RLE>left to right text<PDF><RLM>

don't round up for size: for example: a file that is 100 bytes does not match size:<1kb

Show the parent folders context menu as a submenu in a file/folder result context menu. or add the option to right click in the path column.

multifile rename -need more support for Relative Paths, like: \..\..\..\filename

change "path" to "folder location" to match Explorer (column can just be "folder")

"Full path and filename" should be "fully qualified file name"

add a customizable string so the user can specify the "x objects selected" format when 2 or more objects are selected. -2 of X objects selected, Size: 12 MB -$t for total size? -$s for number of selected items -$r for number of results. -and another customizable string for 0 objects selected

strong LTR and strong RTL in status bar part is breaking reading order in RTL -see DEBUG_FIXME in _ui_status_part_add

path length column

make sure Everything rescans a volume when it has been decrypted. (VHD drive that is locked using Bitlocker.)

tree view should be customizable ? could have filters or custom paths, or is better to have a filter pane? with check boxes?

sdk function to get number of subfolders and/or subfiles Everything_GetSubFolderCountByFilename()..

Add the option to show selection checkboxes in the result list

put name option on contacts page -above email

config ini to override settings in the same location as your Everything.exe, allow admins to override settings an import.ini in %APPDATA%\Everything that is loaded and deleted and appended to the user Everything.ini

add es: dropdown everything search from open/save dialog boxes?

i need a command line option to override the appdata path. so we can store history.csv files in a different folder.

when deleting sort by path descending so subfolders are deleted first, that way when we delete both c:\prova and c:\prova\prova2, the subfolder prova2 is deleted first, then c:\prova, otherwise c:\prova\prova2 doesn't exist after deleting c:\prova and windows throws an vague error: can not delete %1 access denied.

save columns with bookmark

middle mouse button scroll change cursor. -tricky to do since its not a model loop. -added -use the cursor Word uses

There needs to be a single call, like the Everything_GetRunCountFromFileName but for sizes, and dates. This would bypass the query and just get the information directly from the Everything database. Added to my TODO list.

IPC add: Everything_GetResultTotalFileSize -will have to add to the main struct somehow.. -also add Everything_GetNumFolderResults and Everything_GetNumFileResults support back, it will not work for special sorts, which is fine..

nsis installer getting error 0xc000007b when first run and when windows 10 ASLR is enabled. -can we support ASLR with nsis?

It is not clear to the user that in the Tools -> Options -> NTFS page the Settings for Local Disk (C:) is for the selection above (same with other options page) -consider highlighting Settings for *Local Disk (C:)* or using a groupbox around the listbox and settings

option to save current columns in bookmarks

split advanced search help for start and end dates, dont use the same help for both.

allow ESC when building long list of pidls (right click on all selected files)

review ae (the one character symbol) matching a

option to sort by the first regex match

like filezilla, use base64 for storing passwords in Everything.ini/bookmarks.csv files

*Everything.exe -startup -reindex && ES -sort size folder: size:^>1gb -the first part returns successfully before the reindex command is complete. if the ES query is terminated while the es query was active, the es client will never recieve results, we should process DB_QUERY_EVENT_DB_CHANGED or remove DB_QUERY_EVENT_DB_CHANGED and automate it

Don't display machine target in DisplayVersion for installed programs and features, it should only display major.minor.revision.build

Check IPC client exists while building IPC reply message. highlighted search terms is not checking and takes forever to build the reply message, even when the ipc client termiantes. -we need to use pipes instaed of WM_COPYDATA. -pipes need another thread, and I dont wont another thread.

ignore punctuation should ignore combine chars (diacritics)

auto complete shell:

option to specify a maximum column width when "size columns to fit", should be specified in pixels, eg 640, could specify 100% for 100% screen width?

bitlocker drive not ready -The problem is that if you have an NTFS formatted drive that has been encrypted with BitLocker there is a use case where Everything scans the drive before it has been decrypted, and then does not automatically scan it again after it has been decrypted, and so doesn't show any files on that drive unless you go click the Force Rebuild button in the options.

when regex is enabled and the advanced dialog is opened, fill in the regex part with the current search.

make windows play nice with multi-monitor setups, rememeber x,y positions only when the dialog window is on the same monitor as the parent.

add support for idroptarget so we can drop text on Everything.

if filelists have no "filename" header, they should treat each line as a filename (cmd tree export?)

folders should not be using C:\ internally they should be using c: we should still display c:\ but removed the trailing \ after loading the ini, or browse for folder. this will fix the /reindex c: issue for folder indexes

fix WS_GROUPs, mostly fixed, but make sure they are all good for Everything 1.5, there should be a WS_GROUP for the first control in each group.
add EVERYTHING_IPC_IS_FAST_SORT to the SDK documentation.

use a smaller header for xp -done, using a header_font_high + ((7 * os_logical_high) / 96) height now

ui_listview.c search for //New Text Document:.txt is still broken. (Note the - need to replace utf8_root_part_length with custom root part length, we don't want url schemes, and we should only accept : when there's a following \, eg: c:\ = ok, c:foobar.txt = bad

use overlapped struct for all writefile operations. we don't want to wait to build the next chunk before the data is written to disk. use GetOverlappedResult to wait before WriteFile so we are always waiting for the disk.

we should have an query OP code to get the next term, rather than looping outside the opcode execution. we wouldn't need two paths like we currently have

add ETP support to ES

check installer works on standard user account with UAC set to never ask.

if run history fails to load, make sure we dont override it with an empty file on exit. file could be read locked by another process on load?

parentdesktop should work, shell:Desktop should expand first,

Truncate the search history menu item text to 256 characters. if text is too long, no items are displayed below!

an option to allow a HTTP request to manually update the indexes.

is shellexecute with the runas verb entering a dialog modal and not blocking!?!

why am i not performing a search on the current result index?!?!?, its already sorted!, would make searching so much faster, would have to check for certain terms to always perform a complete research, empty: comes to mind..

delay previews from showing by one second, only after the first shown preview, so the first clicked on file will show a preview immediately, but using the arrow keys wont bog down the system loading all the previews..

negative run count for showing items at the bottom of the search. -would be useful for showing the recyclebin at the bottom, but would be too hard to maintain unless runcount could work with the parent folders runcount.

should opening Everything via a hotkey open the home search?

CLSCTX_INPROC_SERVER should not be used in ui_preview for compatibility? if it is not present, then double clicking doesn't work when previews are visible viewtopic.php?f=2&t=6247

add EVERYTHING_ERROR_NO_IPC to differenciant between ipc not running and ipc error

make it clear that exclude filters are case insensitive.

do NOT select extension when renaming should be DO SELECT extension when renaming

add a status bar text change for "remove orphaned folder children" we did have LOCALIZATION_REMOVING_ORPHAN_FOLDERS.

detect and remove "naming cycle" - circular reference folder parents.

ETP client/server should not use 18446744073709551615 for invalid sizes, instead it should use an empty string.

Showing a popup of thumbnails when mousing over the selected results could work, I will consider adding something like this.?

rc:sat = 0 results, looking into the future, It would make sense for Everything to always look into the past - viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6210&p=18558#p18558 -we should mimic natural language, if today is tuesday, then 'wednesday' should be tomorrow, NOT wednesday last week.

disable icon cache FOR HDDs that are asleep. don't want to wake up HDDs when we search

function:!value support same as !function:value wether we flip the not flag or invert the values...?

an override Everything.ini for enterprise setups, admin could push out override.ini to override folder indexes etc.

don't prompt to save in appdata when we run from a network share -not sure how to handle this yet, we dont want it too smart, we want to be able to save to x:\ where x is a network drive, so really we just want to ignore \\ shares.

next filter, prev filter.

look up all hardlinks for frn:

support short FRNs (exclude the sequence number) for frn:

renamer should sort by path descending when renaming, so subfolders are renamed before parents.

improve run as admin from ui_Access denied and options, for when we run Everything from a remote location with no write access to the same location as Everything.exe. -we don't really want to see 'unable to save settings', eg, run Everything.exe from \\voidstar\dev\everything\debug\everything.exe from win10 vm as limited user.

important: make sure we get FD data for updating monitors in another thread so we never hold up the main or worker thread. (this would fix the slow USB drive issue.)

About the "Custom Filters" and "Special Filters" in the to do list. How will they be implemented? I'm curious to know if you haven't already thought of this. You probably have but just making sure.

Since I see there will be a toolbar of some sort. Instead of having "Special Filters" hard coded into the software for things like audio, video, and other file types. It seems more convenient to add options to allow users to create, name, customize, and iconize. Those filters then will have their own toolbar buttons that filter out custom filters.

Love the software. And I really appreciate the fact that you take the time to read everyone's suggestions and actually consider them in your software. Thank You.

I plan to change the -connect <host> command line option to start "Everything" with -connect <user:password@host:port>

Please let this happen - asap And of course with blank password support (-connect user@host) because we don't need another password.

Also I would like to see another type of linking on those searched ETP-Servers: CIFS! I'm a Domain Administrator and therefore I can access every drive on every computer connected to the AD So, when I want to open a file oder folder out of Everytrhing it would be nice if it would open the correspondig administrative share. For instance: I want to open the Folder "E:\the\folder\i\like" from server "myserv" and when I doubleclick that folder, "\\myserv\e$\the\folder\i\like" is opened in my Windows Explorer!

The \\server\drive$ shares are working great for me here. Only the -connect has a bug: I can't connect to the ETP Server on our fileserver with -connect etp@08filesrv193. I have to use -connect etp:""@08filesrv193 so send a blank password.

It will be nice to have an option to control the text properties (i.e. colour, bold/unbold, etc.) for "Show highlighted search terms", similar to what we can do with a Firefox addon, Locationbar2. Thanks!

2. One minor suggestion to improve ui: Highlight the entire row as you move through the results list using the keyboard (just like as if you were moving the mouse around with "show row mouseover"). You might even do the alternating shaded line thing (alernating between white & shaded lines in the results, where every other line is shaded) -- for readability of the other columns associated with a particular file.

Someone suggested colors for rows and then took it back...I'd like to add it back in as a suggestion. I just found Everything today and so far I love it, even without this functionality. I like the simple interface. I'm a Karaoke host and I use Copernic for song searches of my Karaoke files which are zip files, I have about 150,000 files which need to be indexed by Song ID, Artist and Song Title. Everything did this so quickly I was amazed! I like that it doesn't look inside of files to stay fast, if you're ever tempted to do add that functionality please, please make it an option. Since I'm usualy playing regular music in between singers I'm also using it to index my mp3s. I have my MP3s stored in folders by genre, I did have to modify the folder names a bit since Everything doesn't do well with a search like "country songs\ .mp3". Not a big deal since I was able to change the folder name to just "country" so now I can just search "country\ .mp3" --after all I already know they SONGS!! A possibility to change the background too might be asking too much but if you feel inclined to add it as an option it wouldn't be too bad! Here's the ideal interface I'd like (from the Karaoke hosting app). With the right options I think I can set it up to look like it.

searchwindow.jpg

This was a great interface until the files got over 30,000 then it would take forever to index and the searches were very rigid. You had to type it exactly as was listed. That's when I found Copernic and it did a good job with the searches, but the indexing would take a while, but I had to index just before the gig - was able to do it while at the bar lest it would make the laptop go into a slow crawl. This is the reason I like Everything over Copernic and it's much faster, the indexing is almost instantaneous. Anyway, the reason for the colors: it would be awesome for different types of files so it would be possible to have zip files with a particular color and mp3s with a different color or jpg or wmv or whatever...this would make it easier to see in a dark bar and in my case, half drunk . I'm gonna try to use it at my next gig this Friday nite -so far is looking good. Expect a donation.

By the way, is there a way to keep the folders from showing up. In the attached example there are 5 folders at the top that I don't need to see, I just want to see the contents:

everything_search.jpg

Anyway, did I mention it's a great app!

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

You can already.
Simply make sure the first item in the exclude list is an include type.
For example, from an empty exclude list, add the following rules:
Include folder: d:\Project_D
include folder: e:\Project_E

Only these two folders, subfolders and files will now appear in "Everything".

The first item in the exclude list defines how items are include or excluded by default..
If the first item is an include type, all files and folders are excluded by default.
If the first item is an exclude type, all files and folders are included by default.

If you are referring to non-NTFS folders, you will be able to include these with custom file lists in the next release of "Everything"..

I would very much welcome another "localization feature" - support for searching accented characters when a normal character is pressed. Non-English languages often use accented characters - it was a must to avoid them in the filename structure in the past, but this restriction has been lifted (even though you occasionally still run into problems). In result, people name their files sometimes with and sometimes without accents.

While Everything works perfectly with any character OS/file system supports, it would be more practical if searching for accented char will return also files non-accented version in the search results and vice versa.

Dear David, thanks so much, I am glad to hear that. And of course, as soon I see this function and the option to refresh the database manually enabled I will be more than happy to donate to your terrific project. By now your program is the first thing I install in a new installed computer, second Total Commander. Your program has make my computing life so so easy that I am so thankful with you. Regards.

Hello.
I think that would be great if put buttons for active and deactivate volumes.
Sometimes it is not necessary to search in the volume (c:programas) and would be very useful if we just have to click in one button.

Hi there! Not sure if the following suggestions are interesting for you, because they are related to Everything as a launcher (well, not necessarily). At this moment, I use Executable filter, FRN sorting, Close on execute, and filter bar visible (in order to know what filter I'm using):

- keyboard shortcut to switch between filters (ex: alt+up/alt+down; user may see the applied filter in filter bar).
- create and save filter along with sort order (search commands that I've read above?)
- keyboard shortcut to execute first item in result list (just with one keystroke, as a application launcher; just as two taps on the enter key )

Right now, I just use a shortcut to activate/deactivate Executable filter, so I can switch between Executable/None filter just with the same shorcut. It allows me to use Everything as a Launcher or just as the best search tool ever.

*[MAJOR]ctrl + backspace is broken when search history dropdown is visible.

Hi,
Thanks for this amazing software, I use it all the time and it saves me a lot of time.
I am running the version 1.2.1.371 and even though the above feature is marked as implemented, when I hit "crl + backspace", a special character appears instead of deleting the word to the left of the cursor.
Thanks again

I use Everything on my Windows 7 x64 box and never see a UAC box. The trick is to schedule a job at boot starting Everything with the -startup argument and checking the box "Run with highest privileges". Here's a blogpost I found covering this: http://www.blagoev.com/Blog/post/Window ... -Read.aspx

Hi, Melon. Thanks your suggestion. I know it exists some tricks to bypass UAC. But I think the great was if Search Everything is changed to not interfere with UAC.
Don't you think the same?
Regards,
Hugo

This is simply not possible! The only ways would be that you deactivate UAC or use the task sheduler. Everything uses some API directly connecting to the hard drive, this is only available with elevated rights which promts UAC.
